Looking for a perfect use for your homemade bacon? Sure, you could just fry it up, but sometimes a special occasion calls for something a little fancier.
For a special breakfast, these cute bacon-wrapped mushrooms would be the perfect complement to a plate of scrambled eggs, maybe with some fried onions on the side.
The recipe as written, will give you moderately-crispy bacon; if you like it extra-crunchy, you can pre-cook it until it’s halfway done before you roll up the mushrooms. Don’t cook it all the way, though, or it’ll break when you try to wrap it.
For extra flavor, one easy addition is just a little barbecue sauce: drizzle it on after the mushrooms come out of the oven.
If you don’t have any barbecue sauce made, there’s a recipe here: mix some up and make sure to make a double batch, so you have extra for the next time (freeze it in an ice-cube tray if you’re not going to use it right away).
You don’t have to use the barbecue sauce, though; the mushrooms are tasty just on their own, as part of breakfast, or as tasty finger food at any time of day!
